A Good Day To Be Alive With BRENNAN MILETO From SISTERS DOLL

A Good Day To Be Alive With BRENNAN MILETO From SISTERS DOLL

Author: HEAVY Magazine January 9, 2026 Duration: 18:35
Melbourne-based rockers Sisters Doll have always been a band who value their support base. From driving 30 hours to play a handful of shows in Far North Queensland to playing on the open waters of America as part of the Monsters Of Rock Cruise, Sisters Doll have never lost sight of who they are and where they come from.
Which is why it came as a bit of a surprise to hear the band have not toured here in their own backyard on a larger scale for a couple of years, but that is about to be rectified when Sisters Doll hit the road for the Good Day To Be Alive 2026 Tour, starting in Melbourne on January 31. It is being touted as their biggest Australian headline tour to date, and promises to reinvigorate the Doll Army, who have been waiting patiently for a fresh dose of one of the finest rock acts currently touring this country.
With the tour only a matter of weeks away, HEAVY spoke with frontman Brennan Mileto to find out more.
"We haven't done an Australian tour for so long," he almost apologised. "We've been overseas a lot of times. We've been to America. We had our first UK tour last year. Obviously, we've gone up to Sydney occasionally and done the odd Sydney show, but we haven't actually gone to all of the other states since 2023. So we kind of thought it's time, you know, we probably should have done it last year when the album dropped, but obviously logistically it just didn't happen."
In the full interview, we discussed the upcoming Australian tour, which begins in Melbourne on January 31, emphasising the band's excitement to reconnect with fans after an unusually long hiatus. Brennan highlighted the positive reception of their re-released song Good Day To Be Alive and the success of their last album, Scars, while hinting at a heavier sound for their next project.
The conversation also touched on fan dedication, with Brennan sharing stories about fans getting tattoos of their favourite artists and his own memorable experience performing with his idol, Ace Frehley. We talked about Sisters Doll's live show and what to expect, how it has changed over the years, the 16th anniversary of the band and more.
